Since starting this community I created a RSS feed to find news that would be worth posting here and I'm interested in if there is any London focused news sites that would make a good addition to my list.

So far I have:

BBC News London
The Guardian London
Metro
MyLondon
The Independent - London
Londonist
timeout.com

Do you have any suggestions to add to this list? I'm interested in any news site that would have good content that would be great to post to this community.

Ian Visits often gets some good scoops that are missed by mainstream media

Thanks for the suggestion.

Not someone in London but probably at least one site that focuses on good news because there's still good in the world

Not specifically just London (but they have news around London). https://www.newsnow.co.uk

Its a UK based aggregator, seemed relatively not bad though they started off as a sports thing but expanded to agregate news from other sources.

This is a cool idea but the experience on mobile sucks hard. I am just rejecting one cookie consent banner after another. I don't think I've actually got to the point of reading a single article 😢.

Only briefly used it on a pc to be fair, so yeah probably not tailored too well. At least we get to keep our 🍪 : 😊

Fantastic site, took a little effort to get it working as a RSS link but it's the exact type of thing I wanted. Thank You.

I'm new to RSS, how did you setup RSS for that site?

[-] Vinnyboiler@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago

I found a site called Feedfry that can create RSS feeds for sites that don't have them.

I'm new to RSS. How did you set up RSS for that site?

That seems pretty comprehensive to me but I'm not London-based.

There are some excellent blogs covering local news in London. I can recommend https://853.london/
